it sounds very much like some early ministry's drum machine : it's also quite easy to use (even with intuition) and if coupled with some basic sounds effects like reverb or delay it sounds waaay better

well basically they're not designed for the same purposes... This is a real synth, while the monotron is more or less just a noisebox with a fun interface. You can't play "notes" with a monotron, it's all about making random noise. And believe me, it really has this random quality of true analog ! And the filter is a BASTARD one, you can use it to filter an external source and it's really raaaaaaaaaaw

electric violon too... sound great to play the "weeping" or "we hate you littke girls" or whatever harshnoise sound.

even played something loosely country.

the electric violin when coupled with a classic string synth sounds quite awesome.it gives warmth, a sensation of violin quartet.that's the trick I used at the beginning of ILM's song "The Glitter Stage"
